Photovalic solar was invented in 1954 and has been readily available since the 1960’s. In 1963 Japan was powering a lighthouse with it. And Solar One was operational in 1982.
If we gave a rat’s ass about solar at the time we easily could have done it also.

Forget 1914. Try 1905. George Cove’s solar electric generator is remarkably similar to modern solar panels.
There you go.
And the Greeks were reportedly setting ships on fire with sunlight and mirrors millennia ago.
